    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The truck driver who caused the horrific bus crash involving the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team was ordered Friday to be deported to India.

    “I can’t consider humanitarian and compassionate factors,” Trent Cook from the immigration division of the board, who oversaw the hearing, told Mr. Sidhu.

    “My sole role today is to make a finding on whether the minister has established the facts that support their allegation that you’re inadmissible for serious criminality.

    His lawyer, Michael Greene, had said the decision was a foregone conclusion, as all that was required to deport Mr. Sidhu was proof he’s not a Canadian citizen and he had committed a serious crime.

    In 2018, the rookie truck driver, living in Calgary, barrelled through a stop sign and into the path of the junior hockey team’s bus at a rural intersection near Tisdale, Sask.

    Mr. Greene said he plans to soon file an application asking the government to return Mr. Sidhu’s permanent-resident status on humanitarian grounds.
